Founded in 1956 in Rioja Oriental, the state-of-the-art winery sits between the Ebro River and the slopes of Mount Yerga, where low rainfall, intense sunshine and a mix of pebble, clay and limestone soils produce deeply coloured, healthy grapes with naturally high ripeness.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes are night-harvested to preserve freshness, destemmed and gently fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures to emphasise pure fruit expression. No oak is used – the wine is bottled young to retain its vibrant purple colour and juicy personality.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing: Drink now through 2027 (best 2025–2026). Serve slightly cool (15–17 °C).
